Hi, I’m Tae Kim
As the name Financial Tortoise implies, I believe in getting rich slowly. Slow and steady is the name of the game, and I firmly believe in this mantra.
In the fable tortoise and the hare, the tortoise didn’t win because he was fast. He won because, though he was slow, he was steady with his progress. I firmly believe that the same lesson can be applied to our wealth-building. Here’s how I can help:
Other Projects and Interests
Travel Hacking
I used to think credit cards were evil. But ever since I discovered travel hacking I consider them best thing since sliced bread - of course used responsibly. By travel hacking I haven’t paid for a hotel room or an airline ticket in many years. I pick our family vacation destination based on points available versus our desire to actually go there.
Book Recommendation
It’s pretty much my full-time job to read. After years of research, I created my personal reading list with favorites from a wide range of categories, including the best personal finance, investing, productivity, biographies, and more. Check out my favorite books here!
Supporting Our Veterans
I am a veteran and I support other veterans. I served my country for six years, and it was one the best experiences of my life. I was not only able to see the world and meet amazing people, but also serve my country in a time of need. But I am very fortunate. There are many veterans who have sacrificed so much more; in blood and sweat. I support because I never want to forget.
